Yikes! It's Friday! This has been an awfully, awfully loooonnng week for being just 4 days long. Ya know what I mean? (doesn't Ernest say that?)

I don't know what planets are visible right now, but what I saw near the moon was too big to be a space station and too bright to be a star. (sorry, a little Star Wars quote got thrown in there). I was out with Penny and Libby this morning. It was still dark and quiet out - the sun had not begun to come up. The stars were beautiful! I swear I have never seen them that close before. Orion's belt (my personal favorite) was right over our house.

This weekend I will get to enjoy the outdoors at the Cross Country meet. I plan on taking a lawn chair, my camera and my sketch book and watching the runners go by. Last year I was back-and-forth, back-and-forth and by the time we got home I was exhausted! Not this year!! I am camping out!!!

More next week
